This movement or the conference was Inaugurated by Commissioner of Asriculture Hudson, of Gex)rgia. and Commissioner Kolb. »if .\labama. has invited tho coinmissiouors to meet in Montgomery. Commissioner Kolb has advices from all over the south which have brought to him the information that the cotton crop has greatly deteriorated since the publication of te last government re port. Recent rain.=? have had much to do with this, and in Alabama. Captain Kolb says, the cotton crop has dete riorated at least 20 per cent in the past three weeks. Heavy rains and continved rains, the ravages of the caterpillar apd rust, which recently appeared on. the cotton, have caused this deterioration. Captain Kolb says that the estimate of a 16,000,000 bale crop for the south will fall far short and that if the sOuth raises tS.OOO.OOO bales this year it will be doing well and further rains will reduce this estimate materially.
